I wonder how many of the people here complaining about the state of the National Parks are using reduced rate passes vs. the $80 annual pass, and taking advantage of the 50% discount on camping.
Discounts for seniors and the disabled mean less money to be used in the parks, yet the vehicles they drive have the same impact on the roads and their RV's occupy the same amount of space that a "full price" visitor's would...
Oh Lord! Don't go there! I've waited a very long time to get this pass, but I had to pay the $80 instead of $10 that used to be offered and I thoroughly enjoy being able to pay 50% off for camping. There aren't a lot of good, really good, perks for retired persons, but this is one of them. All the other persons that pay full price more than make up for those of us that don't.
